    • In a geolocation application, a method is provided to jointly estimate the time-of-arrival (TOA) and the amplitude of a received signal based on super-resolution technique. The super-resolution joint TOA-amplitude estimators are provided based on either the expectation-maximization (EM), parallel-interference-cancellation space-alternating generalized expectation maximization (PIC-SAGE) or serial-interference-cancellation SAGE (SIC-SAGE). The SIC-SAGE estimator minimizes the ranging estimation error especially under a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) condition. The SIC-SAGE estimator is a simplified version of the maximum likelihood estimator with more stable performance in a multipath rich environment, such as the ultra-wideband (UWB) based applications. These techniques provide the following benefits: 1) it is generic, so that signal processing can be deployed on both time-domain (e.g., UWB impulse-radio) and frequency-domain (e.g., multi-band orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MB-OFDM)) based transceiver schemes and applicable for both UWB and non-UWB systems; 2) it is robust especially under NLOS condition and multipath rich environment.
    • 在地理位置应用中,提供了一种基于超分辨率技术共同估计接收信号的时间(TOA)和接收信号幅度的方法。 基于期望最大化(EM),并行干扰消除空间交替广义期望最大化(PIC-SAGE)或串行干扰消除SAGE(SIC-SAGE)提供超分辨率联合TOA幅度估计器, 。 SIC-SAGE估计器最小化了测距估计误差,特别是在非视距(NLOS)条件下。 SIC-SAGE估计器是最大似然估计器的简化版本,在富路由多环境中具有更稳定的性能,例如基于超宽带(UWB)的应用。 这些技术提供以下优点:1)它是通用的,使得信号处理可以在时域(例如,UWB脉冲无线电)和频域上部署(例如,多频带正交频分复用(MB -OFDM))收发器方案,适用于UWB和非UWB系统; 2)特别是在NLOS条件和多路径丰富的环境下,它是强大的。

    • A method for mitigating NLOS effects in a localization system uses both multipath channel characteristics and information from the mobile network. The method iteratively estimates the first arriving path of the received signals and the terminal location, with the estimate of the terminal location improving the estimate of the first arriving path, and vice versa. Initially, a peak selection method determines a rough time-of-arrival (TOA) for a signal received at each of a number of different fixed terminals (FTs). An estimate of the location of the mobile unit is then provided (e.g., based on a least-squares (LS) triangulation). If the residual error is unsatisfactory, the TOAs are refined, using a search-back algorithm, which searches back from the strongest paths of the received signals. The new TOAs are used to refine the estimate of the location of the mobile terminal. In addition, the parameters of the search-back algorithm (e.g., a search-back threshold) may be modified for greater accuracy in the estimated first path. The first arriving path estimate and the location estimate are iterated until convergence (e.g., the residuals are within a tolerance) or until a termination condition is reached, usually controlled by the thresholds setting.
    • 用于减轻定位系统中的NLOS效应的方法使用来自移动网络的多径信道特征和信息。 该方法迭代地估计接收信号和终端位置的第一到达路径,其中终端位置的估计改善了第一到达路径的估计,反之亦然。 首先,峰值选择方法确定在多个不同固定终端(FT)中的每一个处接收到的信号的粗略到达时间(TOA)。 然后提供移动单元的位置的估计(例如,基于最小二乘法(LS)三角测量)。 如果剩余误差不能令人满意,则使用搜索回溯算法来改进TOA,该算法从接收到的信号的最强路径中回溯。 新的TOA用于改进移动终端位置的估计。 此外,可以在估计的第一路径中更精确地修改搜索返回算法的参数(例如,搜索返回阈值)。 迭代第一到达路径估计和位置估计直到收敛(例如,残差在容差内)或直到达到终止条件,通常由阈值设置来控制。
